what tires should i use? and suggestions.:confused:

[hazzelarator]

I ran hard cat spikes on my B4 last time they seemed to do the trick :thumbsup:

[Shifta]

Is round 2 still on this weekend? Is there an entry list?

[gazbaz2]

what tires should i use? and suggestions.:confused:

Yellow mini spikes work well

[hazzelarator]

Hi mate, yes round 2 is still on this weekend! The first round on the 'dirt' too. I've collected the rope to make the track today from Gary and it's all looking good! I'm leaving the surface packed and ungraded so it will be harder that last year so tyre choice may be different than last year but only time will tell! Hope to see a good turn out. Cheers

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Winter Weather

what's it like at the moment with the snow & roads for getting to the venue?

[b4pete]

Will my car get covered in horse shite?

[hazzelarator]

Chequered flag: the roads are not an issue, it's less than a mile from the a1 so no issue there! The venue is obviously not heated but were all men? So no issues there either ; )

B4pete: yes car will get caked in hoss shite upto the axles, I've specially imported loads of shit to make the jumps and landings! No I'm sure there are traces of shit in the surface but rest assured there will be no steaming turds on the apexs of the corners! ; )

I know I did the 2009 Xmas meeting. Still recovering :woot:

I'm going to be a pansie this weekend as I have a GT10 meeting to go to in the warmth :thumbsup:

you sure, what about the marshalls? :D

[Shifta]

Does anyone know the postcode for stannington and if there's 240v?

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Does anyone know the postcode for stannington and if there's 240v?

see post 6 for co-ordinates

not sure on 240v

[Shifta]

:thumbsup:Cheers

[gazbaz2]

Does anyone know the postcode for stannington and if there's 240v?

Now matey, apparently there isnt a post code but Harry V gave me this 1 NE61 6EH that post code gets you to the correct turnoff from the A1

Gaz

[hazzelarator]

Hi guys sorry, just got back from Autosport show! There is 240V in the arena, however you will need to bring extensions etc.

As Gary Sais postcode to the correct junction off A1 works but after this follow signs for Netherton park and after you go over 1 speed bump its next left!

Unfortunately the burger van has had to cancel :cry: so bring your own food and drinks too.

Any other questions feel free to ask away on here and Il get back to them asap this evening!
cheers
and see you all tomorrow :thumbsup:

[Barry Williams]

Had a great day today at Stannington.
Thanks to Harry & Bill, I think it is an excellent venue, surface very reminiscent of Tiverton indoor venue.
Great racing today, the 4wd A final was really good to watch.
Hope the next meeting there doesn't clash with anything else we have pre-booked for as don't want to miss it.
Well done lads

Barry

[gazbaz2]

Yeah spot on day, great track good close racing well done Harry and Bill, thought you did a great job cant wait till the next meeting, oh and no horse poo,:thumbsup: class lol

Gaz

[b4pete]

LOL!! Glad there was no poop! I couldnt come due to my stupid wife letting my son burn himself on her hair straightners!

[hazzelarator]

Cheers to everyone who came & had a good day today, for the next round Im hoping to make a much longer track and have some propper jumps built ready to use! Thanx to Bill for running the event too! Out of interest who found what tyres to be the best?

[dpackster1980]

Today was excellent, it's a quality venue.

The surface is brilliant and really weird at the same time. I had no tyre wear and there was loads of grip.

Defiantely can't wait to go again.

I ran Schumacher Mini Spike yellows all day they were good for me

[baD]

Really enjoyed running it and driving today, despite needing a set of Pack tyres. In fact any set of newish tyres would have been a good start.
Sorry about forgotten printer everyone.

Great surface, great venue - thx Harry

[racdeaf]

yep it was a smashing day :thumbsup:
full set of yellow mini spike is spot on around the track

Roll on to the next round :thumbsup:

[chrispattinson]

Good to hear it was a good days racing.

I'm looking forward to attending the next round at Stanington. Who won??

I almost came over on Sunday to run 2WD, but B4 shocks needed doing, new seals, wishbones, rear blocks etc..... so Ill get it all prepped for next time.

[baD]

who won ?

see Post #25

[Shifta]

Had a really fun day and some super close racing.. :thumbsup:

In practce full spikes did the trick but no good once there was a racing line!
After that I tried new Schumi yellow mini spikes and Ballistic green mini spikes and found there was not a lot of difference at all, the only thing was yellows didn't clog up at all.

Hope I can make the next one :thumbsup:

[dpackster1980]

Lol with your special tyres ??

They were f**king w*nk! Only good for 2 corners and then they get clogged up!!!!!

Yellows were good in the final but shame I only put softer springs on after the final when we were practicing, what a pleb.

I have my setup now and I'm gonna win!! :thumbsup:

[pete]

Haha, bring it on packster! Going to have my prototype inside of wheel pooper scoopers fitted at the next one!!

Had a wicked day. The racing was awesome. really good venue and some top notch driving. what more could you want?:thumbsup:

[gazbaz2]

Next time i go im gonna wear ear muffs if im stood next to pete lol, it was class, close and clean racing though:thumbsup: it would be good to get a regional there, hint hint Harry:D

[gazbaz2]

:thumbsup:Cheers

Jeff did you say you had a video of last sundays racing ?

[Shifta]

Yes I got 2 short clips, they are uploading at the moment but I gotta go out, I'll try and post links later :thumbsup:

Class vids there Jeff :thumbsup:

[hazzelarator]

I'd love to host a regional at the venue and theres even potential for an outdoor track for the summer but it needs to add up from the stables point of view! Basicly the more people who attend the more likely there will be a future in the Stannington venue! Thanx to all that came this week! Next round I hope to have some proper 'mens' jumps and a longer track. everyones welcomed to their own opinions on the next track build? But please turn up & help :D:woot::thumbsup:

[hazzelarator]

Forget valentines day and start getting excited about the next round of the NEWS series at Stannington the week after! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[chrispattinson]

Ok, gonna try and make it to this one. What tyre worked best?

[chris68nufc]

I should be there also to see how the Durango goes on the dirt!

Are people doing both classes?

Oh yeah, and whats the tyres?

[chrispattinson]

[nobby]

[chris68nufc]

Yellow mini spikes it is then?

Hoping i can make it next week!!

Hope theres some awesome jumps aswell!!

[chrispattinson]

Did anyone try GRP conespikes?? I cant see me ever using the sets I have here.

[chris68nufc]

Yeah Chris...they are the best tyres to use at Stannington! Make sure you glue a few sets up though. They dont wear very well.

[gazbaz2]

yellow mini spikes, ran a set all day, they looked like new at the end hardly any wear at all:thumbsup:

[chrispattinson]

Is there power available at Stanington, if not, can I use a genny?

[chrispattinson]

yellow mini spikes, ran a set all day, they looked like new at the end hardly any wear at all:thumbsup:

I think you need to learn how to stab that left stick a bit harder Gary.

[hazzelarator]

There is power available at the venue! :thumbsup:

[Chequered Flag Racing]

There is power available at the venue! :thumbsup:

How many 240v 3 pin outlets are there or are we all plugged into one via extensions?

What time do doors open and racing start?

Catering. Bring your own I'm guessing

May get there if I don't hit the red wine on Sat night :D

[hazzelarator]

We're all plugged into two sockets which has always been fine in the past (touch wood) Doors open at 9 & Catering is a bring yer own situation although theres a farm shop & a garage just up the road that do homemade sarnies etc

[racdeaf]

I think you need to learn how to stab that left stick a bit harder Gary.


believe me he did ! we pushin the car harder we can .. the outcome the tyre still new at the end

[Shifta]

Think I'll be there... :eh?: Both classes for me!
Anyone got a spare set of 4wd yellow mini spike's for sale?

[chris68nufc]

And me!! Ive got none either!!

[racdeaf]

i got new set but i need for sunday :p

[chris68nufc]

Yeah Rob u do need them....we dont though. Got to give you a chance!!!!:p

[turbobrick]

I'm going to try some random tyre choices out this sunday, see if I can find a set that works well.

Only because I've got no minispikes either :cry::cry:

Peter

[hazzelarator]

Well looks like im in good company having no full spikes either! :( I can tell you one set to not even bother with is mini spikes! Thats all I had last time and it was like driving on ice. I have a cunning plan up my sleeve for tyre choice though :thumbsup: (theres not good odds on it actually working)

[gazbaz2]

I'll be taking a few sets of minispikes up to sell on the day if any1 wants any

[hazzelarator]

Are they on rims or not mate? Also how much? I may take you up on that offer depending on how well my 'stand in' plan works! :thumbsup: So you can probably put me down for a set now! :woot:

[gazbaz2]

no there not on rims matey and there £15 for a full set

[hazzelarator]

Cool cheers, you got any rims that will fit my BJ4? I only have 1 set of front wheels for it and its a ball ache to change tyres

[gazbaz2]

yeah i should have some used 1s knocking around some were, got no new 1s like

[chris68nufc]

Well looks like im in good company having no full spikes either! :( I can tell you one set to not even bother with is mini spikes! Thats all I had last time and it was like driving on ice. I have a cunning plan up my sleeve for tyre choice though :thumbsup: (theres not good odds on it actually working)

Do u mean mini pins?? I thought mini spikes were the tyre of choice??

There should have been a control tyre IMO so that everybodys got the same chance.

[gazbaz2]

lol yeah like yellow mini spikes but i have none for sale really lol

[hazzelarator]

Yeah thats the one, mini pins are crrrtt

[chris68nufc]

Phew!!

Ive got some but most have the outer row cut off the tyres if anbody wants to buy them??

I was goig to use them for regionals but if anybody needs them then there there!!

Who else is running both classes??:thumbsup:

[gazbaz2]

hey you, you stepping in on my pitch lol

[chris68nufc]

I need the money Gaz. Im skint!

[gazbaz2]

lol yeah right, you sparkys are never skint lol

[gazbaz2]

you running 2 class chris ?

[chris68nufc]

Im only a poor little Sparky,
My Clothes all tattered and torn,
I need to sell some tyres,
before my new baby is born!

Really really sorry for that but im after post 1000!!

[gazbaz2]

a poet eh!!! lol dont give up ya day job chris lol

[chris68nufc]

Im a poet and i didnt even know it!!

[chris68nufc]

Went to help with the track build but it was done. Ive got pics of the track and the 'crossover' which works very well on my phone but i cant work photobucket out!

Looking forward to tomorrow....just hope theres a good turnout:thumbsup:

[gazbaz2]

crossover ?? class

[gazbaz2]

so were they testing all there tyres out today then ???

[chris68nufc]

Gaz, i will be totally honest. I had a few laps with yellows on and harry tried old yellow full spikes.
My tyres were from 3 years ago, yellow mini spikes and they had the inner row cut off and the 2 outer rows cut off and they were fine.
Theres no need in putting spankers on.

Crossover.:thumbsup:

We had limited stuff to build the jump for the crossover but im going to supply loads of timber for future events. We tried many different combinations and its worked really well.

Huge long straight and very flowing imo.

Bring it on tomorrow. Hope people try their best to attend.:thumbsup:

[chris68nufc]

That was my 1000 th post!!:thumbsup:

[gazbaz2]

lol i was only joking about trying tyres boss lol it sounds good, i hope theres a few more there tomoz an all matey

[chris68nufc]

If we get any more rounds there maybe in the summer then i propose to run a control tyre. Dont know where i can propose it but im doing it anyway!!:thumbsup:

[gazbaz2]

yeah sounds good, there every1 will be the same

[chris68nufc]

Im taking my 2wd aswell in case i can run that aswell??

Anybody else fancy running 2WD?

[Chequered Flag Racing]

May get there if I don't hit the red wine on Sat night :D

won't get there as work is calling, sick leave to cover, bugger :(

[hazzelarator]

Haha yea we have been doing extensive tyre testing we tried different compounds, cures, patterns, inserts, diameters and widths lol joking aside I hope everyone likes the track it's pretty big and flowing with a cool feature jump which is now pretty easy to clear. See you 2 mrw:thumbsup:

[chris68nufc]

Really enjoyed today.Hope we can get something a little bit more often at Stannington as it was great:thumbsup:

Cheers Harry and Bill. Good job!!

[hazzelarator]

Thanx to everyone for a decent turn out. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day even if it was possibly the coldest day of the year! :blush: Thanx to Bill for making the event run as smooth as ever. If anyone has any suggestions for the next event there please PM me on here and I'l be glad to take it all into consideration. (Not planned yet but im sure there will be more if the demand is there) thanx again
:thumbsup:

[gazbaz2]

Big Big thanks to Harry and Bill, yet another great days racing in the arena, really enjoyed it, fantastic close racing, well done lads, would be great to have more of an ongoing weekly race there

[N7ELA]

Who was the daddy then...?

[racdeaf]

Many thanks to harry and bill for today
excellent racing despite the big freeze :p

[chris68nufc]

A final 4 WD was
Q1 Pete Watt B44
2 Jeffles BJ4
3 Rob Durango
4 Me Durango
5 Shunter(New title has went to his head) B44
6 Gazbaz2 Durango
7 Jonathon Durango

Im sure there was somebody else in the final too but cant remember, sorry

Pete took the win i think with jeff marching on strongly for 2nd i think, then it was Rob then Gaz then me.

Really enjoyed it.
Can we arrange to get there more often on a Sunday evening or will that jeopordise Seaham booking if we did every other week? Just a thought!

Tyre wear is fantastic aswell i.e. none at all.

[Shifta]

Yeah thanks to Harry & Bill for putting it on :thumbsup:

Track was brill :D

Think the order was..

1. Pete Watt
2. Rob
3. Me
4. Gaz

Not sure about the rest..

[chris68nufc]

Cheers Jeff. You might have well mentioned me if i had a few more horses under the bonnet!

A 7.5 motor on that size track was a bit on the slow side!!:thumbsup:

[Shifta]

Wasn't sure what final you made to be honest.. :p

[chris68nufc]

Oooh!! Nasty!!

[Shifta]

Ha ha... only kiddin m8..:o

[racdeaf]

yeah jeff is correct with order

Pete
Rob (me :p)

[chris68nufc]

Im not rising to this banter!!

[racdeaf]

chris i think u must be day dreaming !
i was knockin pete watt rear end in A final ! he couldn't shake me off :p

[chris68nufc]

Cos you are just like a bad smell!!

[gazbaz2]

Cheers Jeff. You might have well mentioned me if i had a few more horses under the bonnet!

A 7.5 motor on that size track was a bit on the slow side!!:thumbsup:

Chris, didnt you get 20 laps with that 7.5 ??

[racdeaf]

Cos you are just like a bad smell!!

lol and it worked :thumbsup:

[baD]

Enjoying the above banter very much :D but to put an end to the speculation, here's the official day's details
NEWS Results (http://www.pureinsite.co.uk/results/news/index.htm)

And thanks for all the appreciation, I think it's a superb place to have fun. Needed to say that cause you might not have thought so if you saw my car trying to go round the track ;)

[chris68nufc]

Chris, didnt you get 20 laps with that 7.5 ??


Not sure, why?

[racdeaf]

Woohoo results time :p

[pete]

Another wicked days racing. the bigger track was even better than last time and Rob, your car was superb and you drove it really well in the final. You really pushed me all the way to the last corner. looking forward to the next meeting there already. :)

[chris68nufc]

What about the crossover? I loved it!!:thumbsup:

[Shifta]

Yeah it was good.. First time I've ever raced on a track with a cross over :thumbsup:
A small down ramp would've been a good idea as I kept bursting my shock seals :thumbdown:.. As if I didnt have enough repairs to do today... lol

[hazzelarator]

Thanx to everyone for the good feedback, and thanx to everyone who lent me stuff like diffs & tyres to keep me going! :blush: The crossover was Chris's idea and I must admit I was concerned it would cause carnage at first but I don't think I saw 1 crash because of it? (This is where someone pipes up they got T-boned and wrecked a chassis because of it lol) Next time I will make more of an effort to get some more materials for proper jumps :thumbsup:
Thanx again

[baD]

........ I don't think I saw 1 crash because of it? (This is where someone pipes up they got T-boned and wrecked a chassis because of it lol) :thumbsup:
Thanx again

Oh - yes - :cry: that reminds me - apologies to the guy whose car I landed on (think it was a green shell), not quite a T-bone, but it could have been nasty.

Seaham day format

Doors open 8am
8.15am Practice and booking in
9am First heat

[turbobrick]

We're going to check this week to make sure it can still run during the day time as planned, will update when we know which should be by Thursday.

[turbobrick]

As we've changed our contract with Seaham Youth Centre to evening racing and other events have been booked around that it will be easier for us to hold the event on the evening so not to interfere with other bookings

Sorry if this inconveniences anyone but the next round will be starting at 6.15pm at Seaham Youth Centre
